400 words, I think. I had planned to finish a scene today, but my brain was like "Oh, you know what would be good? Splitting this one into two!" and so I did. And while I did finish one of them, it still doesn't feel much like progress because I still didn't reach the next plot point. But at least I'm happy with what I wrote today.
I am having a terrible time with Chapter 11. I've written three different beginnings, and I think I've worn Davos out doing it over and over again. (I feel like a mean play director.) So I'm going to call today's word count 300 and go to bed.
I have a sort of bare bones outline for the Femslash Ex fic. I feel it's a bit short, but anything longer just changes the scope of the whole thing. But, yay, I have something to work with and I'll probably write a second fic for my recipient (as we matched on more than one thing), so it should be fine
( ... )
Yay for not hating your big bang story! That was sort of how I felt when I reread mine.
And good luck on the femslashex and other exchange. That's a funny set of don't likes. No gen. No pre-slash. No PWP... So, they want kinky slash but only wrapped around a plot? Yikes.
I'm sure you'll come up with some sort of compromise!

Yeah, that's exactly what it reads like to me. "Please commit to write me the topey, kink epic of my dreams" and I get the sentiment, but in an exchange where you are only guaranteed a fic in the 2000 words range, that's a bit... pushy. I can get why whoever defaulted, did so.
I think I've found a way to work around this though, making the PWP kink part happen at the beginning and having the characters get together after, with some conflict. I just hope I can wrap this up qickly and not let it get to long. Because, no, I did not pick up a pinch hit to write long fic that distracts me from my Big Bang. :P
Also, already have a tentative idea for my Public Call assignment! That's always good not to feel like you're failing on your own exchange. ;)
Decent progress yesterday. I finished chapter 1 of my WIP and sent it to beta, and then I wrote a decent amount of a first draft for my FemslashEx fic. \o/
A few hundred words for me, switching between two rather silly WIPs -- that way, if I'm feeling stuck on one of them I can work on the other. Not the worst day!
